A little bit of this, a dash of that, a hand ful of spice, and everything's nice :-) (hey! that rhymed) !! :-) This was the experience as I set out with my ingredients for the first Magic Minglethat me and some like minded bloggers are up this month with - Cinnamon and Chillies. Apparently they are very two different ingredients, but as you would see here, my versatile friends put up some amazing dishes using these ingredients.Today's dish - Spicy Cinnamon and Pepper Muffins - was my first savoury muffin ever, and a sellout success too.. As kiddo rushed up the stairs from school last evening, the first thing her nose told her was '''' ...mmmmm.. Cinnamon" .. Mission accomplished for ingredient one :-)Magic Mingle brings together two magic ingredients revealed every month and the members are to put together any dish that contains BOTH these ingredients.

So, while we had these muffins with tea, kiddo lapped it up with her favourite side dish - tomato ketchup- and pronounced it yummm !! We all loved the peppery, spicy Indian-version of muffins (replete with coriander leaves & curry leaves too) and this is definitely going to be my to-go muffins for snack boxes and weekend baking. Am sooo happy to have discovered a non-sugary/ non-chocolate based muffin. You can play around the ingredients a bit to suit your palate. Let's get to the dish now.. Along with Magic Mingle, this dish also goes to Priya Sreeram hosting Fast Food not Fat Food, event by Priya’s Now serving, Vardhini’s Bake Fest, hosted by Pradnya & Vardhini’s New U

I've always wondered how a savory muffin tastes like.. I never dare make something which I'm not sure if I'll like or not! You've gotta make me some :DThey look fluffy and great even without the eggs.. -Kavi (Edible Entertainment)
